You may have noticed that several people put quotes around "getto", as I just did. And one person spelled it correctly trying to give a hint. So here it is again:
----
In 1516, the doges, Venice’s ruling council, debated whether Jews should be allowed to remain in the city. They decided to let the Jews remain, but their residence would be confined to Ghetto Nuova, a small, dirty island; it became the world’s first ghetto. The word “ghetto” is from the Italian getto meaning “casting” or Venetian geto meaning “foundry.” The iron works were there.

Now you know.
